1 Naomi ne nigi watne moro ma jadala gi chwore, mane wuok e anywola joka Elimelek, mane nyinge Boaz. Boaz ne en ngʼama idewo momi luor.

2 Kendo Ruth nyar Moab nowachone Naomi niya, “Yiena mondo adhi e puothe mondo ahul cham ma jokeyo oweyo, e puoth ngʼato angʼata manyalo timona ngʼwono.”

Naomi nowachone niya, “Dhi adhiya, nyara.” 3 Omiyo nowuok modhi kendo nochako hulo e puothe bangʼ jokeyo. To nopo nono ni otiyo mana e puoth Boaz, mane wuok e anywola mar Elimelek.

4 E kindeno Boaz nochopo koa Bethlehem, kendo nomoso jokeyo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed kodu!”

Jokeyo bende nomose niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhi.”

5 Boaz nopenjo nyapara mar tich mane rito jokeyogo niya, “Dhako ma pod tin cha en mar ngʼa?”

6 Nyaparano nodwoko niya, “En nyar Moab manyocha odwogo gi Naomi koa e piny Moab. 7 Nokwayowa ni, ‘Yienauru ahul kendo achok cham modongʼ e dier tiangʼ moseka ma jokeyo oweyo bangʼ-gi.’ Nodonjo e puodho kendo koro osetiyo ma ok oywe, chakre okinyi nyaka sani, makmana kuom thuolo matin mane oyweyogo ei kiru.”

8 Kuom mano Boaz nowachone Ruth niya, “Nyara, winj gima anyisi. Kik koro idhi ihul cham e puodho machielo kendo kik ia ka. Bed ka kod nyiri matiyona. 9 Rit puodho ma ji keyoe, kendo lu bangʼ joma nyiri. Asenyiso joma chwo ni kik gimuli. Kendo sa asaya ma riyo oloyie to dhi imodhi e dopige ma jogi osepongʼo gi pi.”

10 Kane Ruth owinjo wechegi, nokulore piny e nyim Boaz. Nowuoyo kowuoro niya, “Angʼo momiyo aseyudo ngʼwono machal kama e nyim wangʼi, an japiny moro nono?”

11 Boaz nodwoko niya, “Osenyisa gik moko duto misetimone wuon odu chakre chiengʼ mane chwori othoe; kaka niweyo wuonu gi minu gi thuru kendo nibiro mondo idag gi joma ne ok ingʼeyo chon. 12 Mad Jehova Nyasaye chuli kuom gima isetimo. Mad Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel, misebiro mondo ipondi e bwo bwombene, ogwedhi gi gweth mogundho.”

13 Ruth nowacho niya, “Mad amed yudo ngʼwono e nyim wangʼi, yaye ruodha. Isehoya kendo isewuoyo gi ngʼwono ne jatichni; kata obedo ni an dhano adhana ma ok nyal pim kata gi achiel kuom jotijegi ma nyiri.”

14 Kane sa chiemo ochopo, Boaz nowachone niya, “Bi ka ichiem. Kaw makati mondo iluti e divai makech.”

Kane obet piny gi jokeyo, ne omiye ondelo moko. Ne ochiemo moyiengʼ mi chiemo moko nodongʼ. 15 Kane oa malo mondo ochak hulo, Boaz nomiyo joge chik niya, “Kata kapo ni ochoko kogolo kuom cham mapok oka, to kik uchande. 16 Kar chande to golneuru cham moko mapok oka kuonde mochung-gie kendo uwene mondo oka odhigo, kendo kik utame.”

17 Omiyo Ruth nohulo e puodho nyaka odhiambo. Eka bangʼe notengʼo cham mar shairi mane osechoko, kendo ne oromo debe achiel. 18 Ne otingʼe motere nyaka dala, kendo wuon odgi noneno kar romb cham mane ochoko. Bende Ruth noterone chiemo mane ochamo odongʼ.

19 Wuon odgi nopenje niya, “Kawuono ne ihulo kanye? Ne itiyo kanye? Ogwedh ngʼat mane iyudo motimoni maberni!”

Eka Ruth nonyiso wuon odgi kuom ngʼat mane otiyo e puothe chiengʼno. Nowacho niya, “Ngʼat mane atiyo e puothe kawono iluongo ni Boaz.”

20 Naomi nowachone chi wuode niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhe. Pok oweyo nyiso ngʼwonone ne joma ngima kod joma otho.” Nomedo wuoyo kowacho niya, “Ngʼat mosetimoni maberno en watwa hie, machiegni kodwa.”

21 Eka Ruth nyar Moab nowacho niya, “Bende nowacho ni, ‘Bed kaachiel gi jotichna ma nyiri nyaka chop gitiek kayo chamba duto.’ ”

22 Naomi nokone Ruth chi wuode niya, “Nyara, biro bedoni maber ka idhi ibedo kaachiel gi nyige, nikech kidhi e puoth ngʼat moro machielo, to gimoro marach nyalo hinyi.”

23 Kuom mano, Ruth nobet machiegni gi jotich Boaz ma nyiri kohulo nyaka chop keyo mar shairi gi mar ngano norumo. Kindeno duto Ruth nodak gi wuon odgi.
